When did zoos in China start to raise and show Giant pandas?
In 1938, the Giant panda was transported from Baoxin County to the People’s Park in Beipei in the city of Chongqing for exhibition, thus starting the history of Giant panda breeding in modern times in China. It was in 1953 that Giant pandas were formally raised and exhibited in zoos, when Chengdu Zoo received a Giant panda cub from Guan County of Sichuan (today’s Dujiangyan City).
